Matt: If the bottom falls out for your team, my plywood Retrobot has wheel encoders and is on standby to bail you out.
Erc, we're sure the bottom won't fall off, the team is the best - but go ahead anyway and post the PDF to build the kit. Then we can purchase 6-foot sheets of plywood locally to build the 6-foot tall walking Penguin knock out wood version and save the wheels and coders for the autonomous car project.
You know how much I prize torque above speed in all things robotic.
It's a good thing. You'll need more than 49 oz inches of torque to lift those heavy motorized webbed Penguin feet weighing in at 85 pounds each (170 pounds total).
And no, sorry, we are not interested in the Woody Wood Pecker version.
I just got outbid on an ebay Toddler, dangit. A 6-foot plywood Toddler would be cool, although I heard that someone tried it and it didn't scale up too well.

The sexy 85-pound tilt and stride female robot built by Joe Rush was very successful, even when scaled up over 5-feet tall. She has a nice mix of wood, metal and other parts.
Had a bit of a problem with my motor driver and prop board, now that I have new ones.. I will be able to get back to trying to test these encoders, not sure they are going to fit with the battery that I have in there. But I will update as soon as I know.
They look like the ones from post #22, which is what I was referring to since it does not look like they came released a motor/encoder combo which is what I believe the OP was wanting.

Mat, we need you to come here directly and test the 575-pound wood Penguin.
